Remember the good old days of back to school shopping? Right around this time, my sister, Dad and I would take our annual trip up to San Francisco with the sole intention of shopping, and then shipping our loot back down to us. Here are the items I would choose for my adult version of my back to school list. … read more
I must admit-the week went by rather quickly, but still Summer is at bay here in Santa Monica. This was a very exciting week for me as I was mentioned in C Magazine-one of my all time favorite publications. If anything, the recent bit of press will make me more motivated to blog more frequently. Enjoy this week’s love list
Summer where are you? It is August and you are just now making an appearance. Well these favorite have gotten me through the gloom-they are arty, they are interesting, and they add a much needed pop until the sun decides to come out. Enjoy!
This week, I’m delighted to share What Home Means To me as part of the Pin-It-Forward series. Pin-It Forward was created by the lovely Victoria Smith of sfgirlbybay and the founders of Pinterest-a new bookmarking tool to keep all those inspirational clippings organized in one place. 300 bloggers were invited to describe what home means to them. Please visit my Pin-it Forward board and make sure to visit tomorrow’s Pin-It Forward blogger- Your Life You Like It Well.
I apologize for my lack of posts-work got busy and I felt uninspired. Here are my favorite essentials that would make any summer day feel like a much deserved vacation on a beautiful beach somewhere in the world.
I travel a fair amount and I’m always curious about what to see, where to shop, where to eat, etc. But I have pretty specific taste and I’ve come to rely upon some really great sources that meet my needs as a traveler. I’ve traveled a few places with some of the guides and have newly discovered one or two, so I think you will enjoy these guides as much as I have.
I recently watched It’s Complicated, and like many of you immediately fell in love with the set decoration. The house is amazing, but I really loved the Bakery/Marketplace Meryl Streep’s character owns. Then I went to Atlanta over the weekend and walked into Star Provisions and I felt like I was on the It’s Complicated set. So I decided to round up my favorite marketplace/cafes. They all have a similar aesthetic-a bit industrial, a bit rustic, with a modern yet traditional sensibility. There is something about industrial lighting, communal, rustic tables mixed with great chairs and really good food that makes me happy.
We all know that tie-dye has been an incredibly popular pattern for Spring fashion. So I decided to round up a few tie-dye prints in fashion, home, and art-Happy Friday!
I am a self-confessed product junkie. Without fail, I always want to try the latest lipstick, serum, bronzer, etc. If a sales associate tells me something is Limited Edition, I want it even more. I do my fair share of research on products, but even then, I’ve been disappointed and it makes me regret not buying my trusty, fail-safe products. So, here they are….
Friday Favorites-gearing up for a relaxing weekend and spending Mother’s Day with my mom and family in Malibu-looking forward to taking a long walk on the beach and being low key.
